Faith Is the Victory Words by John H. Yates Music by Ira D. Sankey Words and Music public domain 521
Encamped along the hills of lightYe Christian soldiers, riseAnd press the battle ere the nightShall veil the glowing skies
Against the foe in vales belowLet all our strength be hurled
Faith is the victoryFaith is the victoryOh, glorious victoryThat overcomes world
His banner over us is loveOur sword the Word of GodWe tread the road the saints aboveWith shouts of triumph trod
By faith they, like a whirlwind’s breathSwept on o’er ev’ry field
The faith by whichthey conquered deathIs still our shining shield
Faith is the victoryFaith is the victoryOh, glorious victoryThat overcomes world
To him who overcomes the foeWhite raiment shall be giv’nBefore the angels he shall knowHis name confessed in heav’n
Then onward from the hills of lightOur hearts with love aflame
We’ll vanquish all the hosts of nightIn Jesus’ conq’ring name
Faith is the victoryFaith is the victoryOh, glorious victoryThat overcomes world
